Head's Welcome
Meet the Head
Rebecca Tear is the Executive Head of Downsend and the driving force behind its Future Skills vision. Her leadership is grounded in strong relationships, high expectations and a deep belief in what young people can achieve.
Previously Executive Head of Fulham School and Headmistress at Badminton School, Bex has led schools through growth, change and transformation, always with a clear focus on pupil potential. At Downsend, she brings that same ambition, championing innovation and an approach to education that prepares children not just for academic success, but for life beyond the classroom.
Her belief that great education is about skills, character and mindset, as much as results, sits at the heart of everything Downsend does.
